Fix 500 Internal Server Error on cPanel Hosting

1. Check the error log in cPanel → Errors.
2. .htaccess: rename it to .htaccess.bak and reload.
3. Permissions: folders 755, files 644.
4. PHP memory/time: raise in MultiPHP INI Editor.
5. PHP version mismatch: switch to a version your code supports.
6. Plugin/theme: rename the plugins folder to disable them.
7. Disk or inode limit: clean up files.

If it is still broken, open a ticket with the log lines.
